Family.
Full of ghosts and expectation
Lurking in the shadows
waiting to strike
to reach up from behind.
Fake smiles turned real
Hiding the pain of the past
Secrets left to rot
never to be brought up.
Stop the crazy shit
and everything becomes fine
Keep acting normal
just to balance on that line.
Sugar sweet façade
to cover and fill the cracks
But they can't fix
the horrors of the past.
Too much evidence to deny
it cannot be believed.*
